Galatians 5:11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Persecution?— The persecution which St. Paul was still under, was a convincing argument that he was not for circumcision and subjection to the law; for it was from the Jews, upon that account, that at this time arose almost all the persecutions which the Christians suffered;—as may be seen throughout the history of the Acts: nor are there wanting clear footsteps of it in several other places of this Epistle, as ch. Galatians 3:4 Galatians 6:12-14.
